Welcome to our log cabin blog

In our blog, we have carefully selected topics that people often as us regarding log cabins, as well as useful items we feel may be relevant to you. Feel free to comment below and ask for new topics of interest, or constructive feedback on items we cover. Select from the categories below, or to the right hand side. Thank you for visiting!

Click on the above latest posts to view them. Alternatively, please use the menu at the top, or the category listings to the right, to select article categories. There you can find further articles on log cabins and related topics, like planning, permitted development and other issues.

Topics covered vary from planning or how to build and uses for buildings. We are also planning some more general interest items and some less serious ones.

Planning is a major consideration when building a cabin. For garden buildings, cabins can often just be built, but only if they are of a certain size and for uses other than commercial or residential. These rules can be further confused by other considerations such as whether you are in a conservation area or an SSSI or outstanding natural beauty.

If in doubt, it is always best to ask your local council for advice. We have produced and are planning several resources on planning (see to the right or the top menu). Please suggest other items using the comment form below and we will produce more articles as required.
